What Breaks You Out?

Hello All!
  I was just reading this months issue of Glamour Magazine and came across the beauty section which talked about clear skin! Everyone loves clear skin, however, many of us do not know why we can't have it. Skin breakouts are caused by a variety of factors and I am going to list a few for you all riiiiight now!

1)Prescription Drugs: SOMETIME- "Some anti depressants and ADHD medications list acne as potential side effects".

2)Dairy: MAYBE - "Thought to trigger high levels of growth factor called IGF-1)" Try soy milk! Yum!

3)Your Phone: YES - "A phone can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Clean it regularly"

4)Stress: NOT REALLY - " Stress alone probably isn't enough to cause acne, but it can make those who are predisposed to pimples flare up."

5)Your Cranky Stomach: YES- " If you have irritable bowel syndrome or a frequently upset stomach, see a gastroenterologist-your skin could clear up too."

6)Makeup: YES- "Look for the words noncomedogenic or non-acnegenic"

7)Trans Fat: YES- "Known to trigger inflammation, which can cause breakouts."

8) Chocolate: JURY'S OUT-" Resent data suggest the culprit is not cocoa but sugar. Go for dark chocolate; it's less sweetened.

SO IF YOU WERE WONDERING WHAT MAKES YOU BREAK OUT. THERE YOU ARE!

Much Love and God Bless!

MY NEW PROTECTIVE STYLE FOR THE WINTER IS..........

HELLO!
  FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS I HAVE HAD SEW IN EXTENSIONS TO PROTECT MY NATURAL HAIR DURING THE WINTER MONTHS!  THIS IS MY FIRST FULL SEW IT, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK??

DO YOU LOVE YOURSELF?




ALL!
 I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A VERY WONDERFUL DAY, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I AM! I WAS SPEAKING WITH A FRIEND NOT TOO LONG AGO AND WE SPOKE ABOUT SELF ESTEEM AND SELF LOVE. SO MANY PEOPLE HATE THEMSELVES AND IT IS SO SAD BECAUSE GOD CREATED US FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY! IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND YOU NEED A FEW TIPS ON HOW TO BOOST YOUR SELF ESTEEM, HERE THEY ARE! 
1) KEEP A JOURNAL OF YOUR PERSONAL GOALS FOR YOUR SELF ESTEEM. WRITE WHAT YOU WOULD WANT TO IMPROVE ABOUT YOURSELF. 
2) REALIZE THAT NO ONE IS PERFECT! 
3) NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN IMPROVEMENT AND A CHANGE! EVERYONE HAS TO IMPROVE THEMSELVES EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE. 
4)DEVELOP A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. THINK ABOUT HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES FOR SNACKS THAT ARE JUST AS DELICIOUS AS THE CALORIE PACKED SNACKS.
5) TREAT YOURSELF EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE( GO TO THE SALON, GET A MANICURE, ETC.)

I AM REALLY MAKING IT MY DUTY THAT THIS YEAR MORE AND MORE YOUNG LADIES WILL BEGIN TO LOVE THEMSELVES MORE THAN THEY EVER DID. I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL! HOW TO U LOVE YOURSELVES?

MEET MISS D'SHONDRA RIDEOUT

HELLO ALL!

  I HAD THE PLEASURE OF SPEAKING WITH D'SHONDRA RIDEOUT! A VERY TALENTED SONGSTRESS AND FELLOW MICHIGANDER THAT I FIRST NOTICED ON KIRK FRANKLIN'S "JESUS" OFF OF HIS CD THE FIGHT OF MY LIFE. HERE IS THE SONG BELOW:

SHE IS A VERY DRIVEN YOUNG LADY THAT IS CHASING AFTER HER DREAMS! I KNEW THAT MANY YOUNG LADIES (CHRISTIAN OR NOT) WOULD BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY WITH HER! I INTERVIEWED HER THIS PAST WEEK. EVEN WITH HER SCHEDULE SHE WAS NICE ENOUGH TO INTERVIEW WITH ME AND I THANK HER! I JUST WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HER STYLE BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS LOOKS SO DARN CUTE AND I KNEW MANY OTHERS WOULD LOVE TO KNOW AS WELL! 
  YOU CAN KEEP UP WITH HER ON HER TWITTER      HERE.

SO CHECK OUT D'SHONDRA!



1) I have seen you in person a couple of times, and you always look so nice! How would you explain your personal style?

-well thanks!! :-) I'm very old school.. I lived with my grandparents for a while so a bit of grandmoms style became my style. On an average day I like to wear jeans and a blazer with a very cute shoe(I LOVE SHOES!!!) overall my style would be comfortable/casual chic.
2) Being a fellow church girl, how do you express your style at church? What are some of your favorite things to wear?

-I love women's suits! I own so many lol I will usually wear a suit with sky high heels or a nice dress.

3) What are some of your favorite trends for the Fall/Winter?

- Fall is definitely my favorite season. I'm loving the faux furs and riding boots. I just like being able to actually 'dress'! 

4) What are some of your favorite beauty products?

- M.A.C. Anything lol Since I travel so much and I have to wear makeup often a good face wash is VITAL!! My skin is weird(very oily and acne prone), so I use Neutrogena oil free acne stress control. The whole line works wonders for me. 

5) What would you say to someone who is reaching for their dreams like you are reaching for yours?

- Just stay focused on God, stay in your Bible, and don't ever conform to this world. It WILL get hard to stay on track sometimes and it's easy to get discouraged but God is always there, and trust me... He has your back! Don't give up!! 

6) Would you like to add anything else?

;-) not unless you want to ask more! 
I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AGAIN TO D'SHONDRA AND I PRAY THAT SHE CONTINUES TO REACH FOR HER DREAMS! CHECK HER OUT AT http://www.twitter.com/DSHONDRA

MUCH LOVE AND GOD BLESS!

My 100th Post! And a little Inspiration for your Friday night!

Hello All!

 I know I have been gone for an entire week and I apologize for that! School and work have been insane but glory beyond to God I am passing all of my classes with A's! Now What! lol just kidding! God has been so good to me! I though that I would make a motivational post today because as I look in the rear view mirror of my life I think about all of the things that God has brought be out of. People ask me where my inspiration came from for my blog, and if you guys only knew how much I love fashion and how much I love God you would understand! When I didn't love myself, God loved me until I started loving myself and he still hasn't stopped loving me! All of the trials and tribulations I have gone through resulted in a outbreak of miracles that are occurring in my life at this very moment! It is hard to think about an outcome while you are going through the Valley but when you get through it! You will find yourself wondering why you complained about that situation in the first place! Just hold on and be strong! GOD will bring you through!

Planking!!!! Why I am not doing it!





Planking, the very stupid and almost insane thing that I have seen people come up with, and that is why you will never catch Crystal of Church Girl Chic, doing that! I do not even know where it originated from, it is just a trend that everyone seems to want to do. Why will I never do it?

1. It's Dumb!- Laying down on something just so everyone of Facebook and the Net can say you had a good plank, umm OK. NO!

2. My clothes could get dirty- Don't you know when you lay on some random thing your clothes can get dirty...lol, who just wants that? I love my clothes too much!

3. Someone Died!- umm enough said!

4-Where did it come from?- I don't know, but who does? Who just does things when they do not even know where it originated from?

5. I am not a follower- This is just so crazy trend that everyone is catching the bug to and I do not following trends like this. I follow my own.

I am not telling you that planking is wrong, I am just telling you that I will not be doing it. lol, I know some people agree with me, and if you plank, well have fun planking! lol

God Bless!
